The epidemic of intentional injury continues to be a leading cause of premature death in America. The ravages of violence are particularly devastating within the minority community. With this position paper from the Surgical Section of the National Medical Association (the country's oldest and largest organization of minority physicians), a group of trauma surgeons and surgical intensivists resolve to focus on underused violence prevention opportunities and to extend their spheres of influence beyond the walls of their institutions and emphasize violence prevention activities.
故意伤害的流行在美国仍然是过早死亡的主要原因。暴力的肆虐在少数族裔社区尤其具有毁灭性。通过美国国家医学协会外科分会（该国最古老、最大的少数族裔医生组织）发布的这份立场文件，一群创伤外科医生和外科重症监护医生决心专注于未得到充分利用的预防暴力机会，并将他们的影响范围扩展到机构之外，同时强调预防暴力活动。
